  "summary": "A group, the Coalition of Civil Society Organisations for Good Governance (CCSOGG), has launched an initiative aimed at preventing violence in the Niger Delta. The project is non-partisan and seeks to protect lives, strengthen peaceful civic participation, and support credible electoral processes.\n\nThe CCSOGG has also called for an evidence-based assessment of surveillance contracts for pipelines in the Niger Delta. According to This Day, the group is reacting to allegations surrounding the value and performance of the Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (PINL) and its Project Director, Osahon Okunbo.\n\nThe CCSOGG stated that legitimate questions about government contracts should be addressed through official documents and verifiable evidence rather than unsubstantiated claims. The group’s spokesman, Comrade Declan Ihekaire, emphasized the need for public accountability to be based on facts, documents, and verifiable evidence.",
